The PSET graphics SCREEN (statement) statement sets a pixel to a coordinate with a default or designated color attribute.
Syntax
PSET [STEP](column%, row%)[, colorAttribute]
Parameter(s)
- Can use STEP relative graphics coordinates from a previous graphic object.
- Column and row can be literal or variable INTEGER coordinates values which can be offscreen.
- If the colorAttribute is omitted, PSET will use the current _DEST page’s _DEFAULTCOLOR.
Usage
- Color attributes are limited to the SCREEN mode used. Any color value other than 0 will be white in SCREEN (statement)s 2 or 11.
- PSET can locate other graphics objects and color DRAW statements.
- The PSET action can be used in a graphics PUT (graphics statement) to produce an identical image on any background.
- The graphic cursor is set to the center of the program window on program start for STEP relative coordinates.
- PSET can be used in any graphic screen mode, but cannot be used in the default screen mode 0 as it is text only! (Or in any _NEWIMAGE(x, y, 0) screens which are text only as well.)
Example(s)
Using PSET to locate and color a DRAW statement.
SCREEN 12
PSET(100, 100), 12
DRAW "U20 R20 D20 L20"
Screen results: A drawn box that is bright red.
